EMERGING MARKET PMI PREMIUMS TO INCREASE

Swiss Re has published a study Keeping healthy in the emerging markets: insurance can help. This suggests that as demand and expectations for better healthcare services rise in emerging markets, premiums for reimbursement-type products are expected to double by 2020.

It says private health insurers have the tools to meet this demand and private health insurance (PHI) can play a key role in building sustainable national healthcare systems.
